Mr. Maurice - Missak Kelechian will be the guest speaker on the subject
of `Ruins of Ani' at the Armenian Apostolic Church of
Crescenta Valley, located at Western Prelacy's "Dikran and Zarouhi Der
Ghazarian" Hall, at 6252 Honolulu Ave., La Crescenta, California on
Sunday, July 6, 2014 at 1pm, following the Divine liturgy, which starts
at 11am.
The presentation will take us to a complete journey into the city of Ani
including location, history, main churches, construction, architecture,
defense and the names of each monument with unprecedented visual
details.
Mr. Kelechian is an Electrical Engineer, a pioneer entrepreneur in the
field of IT technology and a global high-tech business developer with
expertise in wireless tracking and monitoring, supply chain logistics,
and remote, continuous Asset Management technologies. Mr. Kelechian has
extensive experience with key US DoD global operations as well as
commercial applications.
Mr. Kelechian is an independent investigative researcher passionate
about finding untold stories of courageous expressions and service to
humanity by the US government, its people and Near East Relief
organization that became the catalyst for the survival of hundreds of
thousands of Armenian victims between 1915-1930. His most recent
discoveries include two orphanages in Lebanon: One in Antoura where,
between 1915 and 1918, around 2000 orphans were being Turkified by Jemal
Pasha and Halide Edib Adivar, and another in Ghazir where, in 1925 the
`In Golden Rule Gratitude' special rug was woven by the
orphan girls and sent to the U.S. President, Calvin Coolidge to be
displayed at the White House.
Regional Emmy Award nominated documentary, `Orphans of the
Genocide', directed by Bared Maronian, followed Missak
Kelechian's ardent research and findings. His investigative
visual work regarding the colossal assistance and the unprecedented aide
to the Armenian survivors by the NER (Near East Relief) remains to be
one of his most valuable works.
This event, which is organized by Crescenta Valley Church Educational
Committee, is free and open to the public. Please contact us at
[email protected] if you would like to financially sponsor
monthly lectures. This will help cover the cost and sustain future
activities.
